Except I would not work for a company that would aim to retain (exclusive
or long-term) commercial rights to AGI design (and thus become rulers of
the world :)
Which is a lot of the thought process behind my suggestion. I don't see a
Friendly AGI as allowing such a situation to exist and if the AGI
effectively owns the company . . . .
nor would I accept funding from any source that aims to adopt AGI
research outcomes for military purposes.
My sense of humor says --> Oh, I don't know about that . . . . It might be
a lot of fun to give the military a Friendly AGI -- since it would probably
be much more like giving the military to the Friendly AGI. :-)
But the grim reality is that I wouldn't be sure that I could successfully
avoid giving them something that I don't want to, sooooo . . . .
I would have to be able to use these (code, idea) *completely* freely as
I would deem fit
But what if you had unFriendly intentions?

Subject: Re: [agi] poll: what do you look for when joining an AGI group?
Synergy or win-win between my work and the project i.e. if the project
dovetails with what I am doing (or has a better approach). This would
require some overlap between the project's architecture and mine. This would
also require a clear vision and explicit 'clues' about deliverables/modules
(i.e. both code and ideas). I would have to be able to use these (code,
idea) *completely* freely as I would deem fit, and would, in return, happily
exchange the portions of my work that are relevant to the project.
Basically I agree with what the others wrote below - especially Ben. Except
I would not work for a company that would aim to retain (exclusive or
long-term) commercial rights to AGI design (and thus become rulers of the
world :) nor would I accept funding from any source that aims to adopt AGI
research outcomes for military purposes.
Oh and yes, I'd like to be wealthy (definitely *not* rich and most
definitely not famous - see the recent singularity discussion for a
rationale on that one) but I already have the things I really need (not
having to work for a regular income *would* be nice, tho)

The most important thing by far is having an AGI design that seems
feasible. For me, wanting to make a thinking machine is a far stronger
motivator
than wanting to get rich. The main use of being rich is if it helps to more
effectively launch a positive Singularity, from my view...
